Domains of Professional Practice

This APPR Plan is founded on the conceptual principles of Charlotte Danielson, published as A Framework for Teaching (©1998, Educational Testing Service). The domains are tightly integrated with one another. They provide a straightforward, common vocabulary with which to conduct an ongoing professional conversation that fulfills the basic purpose of the APPR Plan. The four “Domains of Professional Practice” are articulated with the eight (8) criteria for evaluation as required in part 100.2 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education.
